That resembles a description of my badly configured S3 Trio 64V+.
Try adding linear = 1 by copying it from another entry to the one
you're using.  Whatever it may mean, it worked for me and I'm sure
it's worth the test.

For the Bell Labs people, the entry I thought matched my S3 Trio
64V+ has a comment by Russ Cox about it not working, with two dates.

The entry immediately above it is identical except for the "linear
= 1" qualifier which seems to make the world of difference.  Perhaps
there should only be one (the first) of these?
